Nice barbera. At first I thought it might be a bit corked but with a bit of air it comes together. Pretty deep and full, with some viscosity from the alcohol. Quite earthy on the finish with good acid. For some reason didn’t quite sing as much as the same bottle a bit over a year ago. — 3 years ago

On the nose; more round ruby, ripe, perfumed, dark cassis, sweet candied black plum, blackberries, black raspberries, raspberries, candied violets, sweet dark rich soils and perfumed purple florals.

On the palate, the body is full. The palate is richer and the tannins are more velvety but, are still sticky and a bit chewy. The fruits are perfumed, ruby, ripe; black raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, creamy raspberries and cherries & strawberries as it opens. Dark rich soils, used coffee grounds, dark chocolate, some mocha & caramel, gravely dry soils, cigar, soft leather, light pepper, good, round acidity and a nice balanced finish.

Cecilia monte Barbaresco dedicato a paolo

Nose is early season cherry. Spice.

Palate is so elegant. More burgundy than Langhe. Super fresh cherry. Elegant to the max. Wow

As this opens. More sweet fruit. Still laser-like. Such focus. GEnius.

Luminous medium-dark red. The captivating nose combines sour red cherry, violet, coconut, tobacco, minerals and a hint of white pepper. Densely packed and youthful but very fresh and lively; this already boasts a silky texture and considerable early appeal owing to its noteworthy sweetness of fruit. Subtle notes of red berries, herbs, graphite and flowers carry through into the rising, very long, vibrant finish. A knockout Brunello that further confirms winemaker Cecilia Leoneschi’s talent at making exceptionally good, very classic Brunellos. I can think of very few wines in all of Italy that have improved more than Castiglion del Bosco’s over the last decade. Well done. (Ian D'Agata, Vinous, April 2018) — 7 years ago
